AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a system that helps reduce stress and improve sleep. It includes a remote device, such as a smartwatch, that collects data from a heart rate sensor. The device analyzes this data and provides information on the user's heart rate and how it changes over time. The system also stores the user's preferences and can suggest ways for them to reduce stress and improve sleep based on the analysis of the data. Overall, this system helps improve the overall quality of sleep and reduces stress for users.

Problems solved by technology

Several studies show that stress can negatively impact health by causing diseases or exacerbating existing conditions.

Further, stress may lead individuals to adopt health damaging behaviors (e.g., smoking, drinking, poor nutrition, lack of physical activity).

These physiological changes and health damaging behaviors can cause illnesses, such as sleep disturbances, impaired wound healing, increased infections, heart disease, diabetes, ulcers, pain, depression, and obesity or weight gain.

However, many individuals are under increased pressure due to a modern lifestyle, which leaves less time for relaxation and sleep.

This lack of stress relief and sleep results in an increase in both mental and physical stress.

These systems may also shield the user from outside interferences.
